April is SpaceX crew launch.

Delayed again - SpaceX is now at June 2019, and Boeing at August.

Those delays were to accommodate the station's schedule. It's possible this event may lead to an "undelay"

ISS scheduling is responsible for at most one month of that slip - DM-1's capsule will be ready in December, and was set to launch NET January because of station availability.

Given that it's currently mid-October, moving up a month from January to December represents a pretty substantial chunk of the remaining time (I'm not suggesting NASA or SpaceX are willing, able, or interested in doing this, but it's not impossible)

Depends on your baseline. Compared to their projected crewed launch of June, it's well within the margin of delays.

Did you know that Douglas G. Hurley launches with Dragon 2 and he was also on the last STS flight? Nice continuity.
